Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The Class A Ordinary shares are underlying the units (the "Private Placement Units"). As described in the Issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-260113) under the heading "Description of Securities - Units" each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of the Issuer's Class A ordinary shares and one-half of one redeemable warrant.

( 3 )The securities are held directly by the Sponsor. Surendra Ajjarapu, the Issuer's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is the manager of the Sponsor. Mr. Ajjarapu may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by the Sponsor by virtue of his control over the Sponsor. Mr. Ajjarapu disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by the Sponsor, except to the extent of his respective pecuniary interest. ( 4 )As described in the Issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-260113) under the heading "Description of Securities-Founder Shares", the shares of Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Issuer's initial business combination on a one-for-one basis subject to certain adjustments and have no expiration date. ( 5 )The Warrants are underlying the Private Placement Units. As described in the Issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-260113) under the heading "Description of Securities - Units" each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of the Issuer's Class A ordinary shares and one-half of one redeemable warrant. ( 6 )The Warrants will become exercisable upon the later of 12 months from the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering and 30 days after the completion of the Issuer's initial business combination.
